The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the adoption of the social networks by teaching candidates and their loneliness. With this purpose in mind, 133 students from education faculties were involved in this study. In the study, the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Social Networks Adoption Scale were applied to the students. After using the SPSS 18.0 program, the results from the scales were deduced using the Pearson Correlation, Independent t-Test, and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). A significant relationship between students’ scores of loneliness and the usage of online social networks was revealed. The conclusion is that the loneliness scores of the students increase according to the frequency students use social networks. In addition, it can be said that the loneliness situation of students and their adoption of social networks does not change according to the universities in which they study.

In countries where the institution of registered partnership has been introduced for persons of the same sex, disputes concerning the statutory regulation of this institution have been the subject of constitutional case law. The objections by applicants for constitutional review may take either of two opposite directions. The first is the conservative tendency, querying the admissibility of the institution of registered partnership as such, especially with regard to the constitutional status of marriage and the family. The second direction, which may be called innovative, seeks for removing the restrictions on rights and possibilities of the registered partners, usually with reference to the general principle of equal rights and the prohibition of discrimination. If the democratic legislator hedged his acceptance of the new institution with conditions preventing or restricting child adoption by registered partners, out of concern for the child’s well-being or on other grounds, sooner or later such restrictions will come up against criticism questioning their validity from the point of view of the national constitution or the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. In some situations, constitutional courts have acted substitutively for the positive legislator in removing such restrictions. There have been no applications to the Czech and Austrian constitutional courts against the introduction of the institution of registered partnership, presumably because the national constitutional orders of these countries – unlike the situation in Germany or Hungary – have no provisions for the special protection of marriage. The Czech judgment discussed in this article belongs to the innovative trend and is, in comparison with its counterparts in the constitutional judicature of Germany and Austria, a rather modest step on the road to making 2 child adoption easier for homosexuals: it sets aside the provision of the Registered Partnership Act of 2005 which has excluded individual adoption of a child by a person living in a registered partnership. The essence of the grounds for this decision boils down to the following: since the legislator admits, in exceptional cases, individual child adoption by an unmarried person regardless – according to the interpretation of the Constitutional Court – of his/her sexual orientation, even though the joint adoption of a child by a (heterosexual) married couple should be taken into consideration as a rule, then the legislator should not prohibit an individual child adoption only because the prospective adopter has entered into a registered partnership. “This statutory restriction will not stand in the light of human dignity as a fundamental objective value of humanity and the focal point of other fundamental rights. Actually, if it is based on the fact that a certain group of persons is excluded from a certain right solely owing to the fact that they have decided to enter into a registered partnership, it thus turns them into de facto ‘second-rank’ individuals and stigmatises them groundlessly in a certain manner, which evokes the idea of their inferiority…“ The author of this article observes that although the authors of the grounds for the judgment refer to adoptio naturam imitatur and child’s well-being as the two fundamental principles governing the law on adoption, yet they have failed to notice the provision of the Registered Partnership Act under review as a specific case of relevance of both principles. According to the prevalent opinion in the Polish doctrine on family law, a person’s manifest homosexuality has to be treated as an obstacle debarring him/her from the adoption of a child. In his dissenting opinion, Judge Vladimír Sládeček has contested the decision of the Constitutional Court as an instance of judicial activism: “What matters is not the essence of the case but rather the approach taken by the Constitutional Court […] it is primarily up to the democratically elected legislature whether and how it will regulate the issues of adoption by registered partners or adoptions by same-sex couples.“ As to the point of view of human dignity, he observes that “… the protection of human dignity focuses on protecting the differences arising from natural characteristics of the human being or created by their will or the social environment. The essence of the protection of human dignity results precisely in respecting these differences. In other words, the protection of human dignity consists not in protecting the rights or possibilities which some human beings do not have owing to their nature or due to a social situation, but rather in respecting the fact that they cannot have them. [...]. It is very difficult to accept the conclusion that the person who ‘formally’ does not take care of a child, which may be substantiated by objective reasons, lacks dignity.“

The emergence of digital banking has presented the banking industry with benefits and challenges. Although digital banking services provide customers with increased convenience and accessibility around the clock, many still struggle to grasp their ever-changing nature. To address this, a study was conducted to identify the main factors influencing the adoption of digital banking in South Africa. The study used an e-readiness framework that combined the innovation diffusion theory and trust in technology with the technology readiness index to measure consumers’ adoption of digital banking channels. The researcher applied quantitative methodology to answer the research question. The snowball sample required respondents to answer the questionnaire and pass it on to others in the network with bank accounts and mobile phones; 338 responses were accepted. Structural equation modelling was employed to test the proposed hypotheses. This study discovered that the adoption of digital banking services is influenced positively by relative advantage, observability, optimism towards technology, innovativeness and insecurity. Therefore, banks should develop user-friendly platforms with online support to encourage the adoption of digital banking. Future research can use qualitative or mixed method approaches to investigate how customers’ perceptions and personalities influence the adoption of digital in emerging markets.

Adoption of improved technologies is one of the most promising ways to ensure food security and alleviate poverty in Ethiopia. However, the adoption and dissemination of lentil technology is constrained by various factors. To this end, the aim of this study was to empirically identify the determinants of adoption and intensity of adoption of improved lentil varieties. In this study, two stage sampling procedure was followed to select the sample respondents. First four lentil growing kebeles were randomly selected from 26 lentil producing kebeles. In the second stage: 166 sample respondents were randomly selected based on probability proportional to size for the interview purpose. Semi-structured interview schedule was developed and used for data collection, the study from the sampled households. Both primary and secondary data were used for this study. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and double hurdle econometric model. The probit model statistics shows that from the total 13 variables, 7 of them show statistically significant difference with the adoption decision at 1%, 5% and 10% level of significance depicted that sex headed household, TLU, family size; cooperative membership, extension service, total land size and education affected the likelihood of adoption of improved lentil varieties positively and significantly. The truncated model results were positively and significantly influenced the intensity of use of improved lentil varieties production in the study show that the level of adoption has significantly active labor force, TLU, family size and access to credit. Finally, the study recommends that, adoption and intensity of use of improved lentil varieties should be given due attention for enhanced by rising farm household asset formation, and providing extension and credit services.

The use of new technologies has brought many changes into consumer behaviour, especially into purchasing process. The aim of the article is to uncover the attitudes of different generations towards usage of new technologies in purchasing process and determine if the diffusion of innovative purchasing process is significantly different among different generations. The article presents the results of authors´ research of usage of new technologies in purchasing process, as well as attitudes towards it, among different age groups - Generation X, Y, Z and seniors. Results of hybrid research carried out by semi-structured interviews with 551 respondents show, that there are significant generational differences in all three components of attitude towards online purchase, which can be - due to its characteristics- considered the most complex use of new technologies in purchasing process. Results prove that the diffusion of innovation in the purchasing process is significantly influenced by the age group. With age the number of Innovators significantly drops and the percentage of Laggards rises. The ratio of those adopting “early” and “late” significantly changes according to age group as well. Majority of younger respondents are accepting the new technologies into purchasing process early (Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority). Middle-aged consumers accept the innovations proportionally - copying the Roger´s curve. Among seniors, the majority is “late” (Late Majority and Laggards).

The purpose of this paper is to explain the institution of designated adoption in Poland, with its specific procedure of preference for designated adoptive parents (e.g. natural parents’ relatives or the spouse of one of the parents). It summarises opinions on this issue presented by the main government institutions which have a significant impact on social policy in Poland, namely, the Children’s Ombudsman, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, the National Council of the Judiciary of Poland and the Bureau of Research attached to the Chancellery of Sejm. The paper also addresses the problem of child trafficking, which is associated with designated adoption. Prior to the entry into force of the recent amendment to the Family Code, designated adoption was admissible not only for a close family member of the natural parents, but in fact any person indicated by a biological parent had a right to adopt the child, which left a loophole for child trafficking. Under the new provisions the legal procedures for designated adoption by relatives of the birth parents will be facilitated, while other prospective adoptive parents will be able to apply only through the mediation services of an adoption agency.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wyjaśnienie instytucji adopcji ze wskazaniem, jej formy i treści, obejmującej osoby uprzywilejowane do przysposobienia, do których zalicza się krewnych rodziców dziecka oraz małżonka jednego z rodziców. Ukazane zostaną także stanowiska między innymi Rzecznika Praw Dziecka, Ministra Pracy i Polityki Społecznej, Krajowej Rady Sądownictwa, Biura Analiz Sejmowych w sprawach związanych z adopcją ze wskazaniem. Zwrócona zostanie również szczególna uwaga na handel dziećmi, z którym jest związana problematyka adopcji ze wskazaniem. Przed wejściem w życie nowelizacji kodeksu adopcja ze wskazaniem była możliwa nie tylko w stosunku do konkretnego kręgu osób, lecz także dla wszystkich tych, którzy zostali wskazani przez biologicznych rodziców dziecka. Jak wynika z nowych przepisów, w przypadku adopcji ze wskazaniem krewni rodziców będą mieli ułatwioną procedurę adopcyjną, natomiast pozostali zainteresowani będą mogli adoptować małoletnie dziecko tylko za pośrednictwem ośrodka adopcyjnego.
